Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The judgment dealt only with the claimant's claim for a redundancy payment. Employment Judge Taylor recorded that the claimant, Mr S Ahmed, had been employed by The Urban Chocolatier Ltd for less than two years. On that basis, the tribunal applied section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and found that the claimant did not have the right to a redundancy payment.

Claim type	Issue or finding	Outcome	Protected characteristic	Award
Redundancy	The tribunal struck out the redundancy payment claim because section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 provides no right to a redundancy payment unless the employee has been employed for two years or more, and the claimant had been employed for less than two years. The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out but did not give an acceptable reason.	Struck out	—	—

How we got this data

Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
